Preferred Label : extracellular matrix proteins;
MeSH definition : Macromolecular organic compounds that contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen,
and usually, sulfur. These macromolecules (proteins) form an intricate meshwork in
which cells are embedded to construct tissues. Variations in the relative types of
macromolecules and their organization determine the type of extracellular matrix,
each adapted to the functional requirements of the tissue. The two main classes of
macromolecules that form the extracellular matrix are: glycosaminoglycans, usually
linked to proteins (proteoglycans), and fibrous proteins (e.g., COLLAGEN; ELASTIN;
FIBRONECTINS; and LAMININ).;
